Bad Week, Eh?

Judging from Markvs's previous post I'm not the only one having a rough week.

But let him tell you of his and let me tell you of mine. We've got a container coming up. If all goes well we're loading on Friday and next week will be smoother sailing with at least one fun project coming up.

But the workload for this container, just one, is serously unproportioned. We have a new location from where we are loading from - I will arrange the workforce and loading. We have a new shipping company we are using - extra worry. The products for the container won't be finished until day before the loading and will need to be transported to a different warehouse. Oh, and we have several side projects going in to the container including prints and stands.

So I'm running between the factories doing the products and arranging everything for the container. If I pull this off I believe most future containers will be much, much easier. It's just that this one can not be late and is more difficult than any of the previous ones.

I know it's my job, sure, but I'm stuck between a deadline and my boss doing equal parts of work, worry and hoping for the best. It's stressful enough. On a side note, I used to have problems waking up in the morning; up to this I've been a late sleeper. Not anymore. I wake up 20-30 minutes before my alarm, having checked the time usually more than an hour before. Nothing serious, but I believe it's caused by pressure at work. No problems falling asleep though, and I get enough hours a night to get trough the day, it's just different.

OP out.
